Life's Little Suprises

Mel Tillis · Living and Learning/Take My Hand [1971]

(Ronal McCown)



We married young and running scared

The people talked but we never cared

'Cause we were pretty thing and sweet talk we were

But I fell in with somebody new turned around and you had too

Right in front of me you know it really hurt me.



But I said that's one of life's little surprises

One of the many things you just can't fight

I said that's one of life's little surprises

And I hope it's one of the kind that makes things right.



Well, I met a man I really loved thought that I'd reach heaven above

The people came around bet he put you down

But I done everything I ever wanted to do

I found the one who makes my dreams come true

But when he said we're through I thought my life was too.



But I said that's one of life's little surprises

One of the many things you just can't fight

I said that's one of life's little surprises

And I hope it's one of the kind that makes things right.



But I said that's one of life's little surprises

One of the many things you just can't fight

I said that's one of life's little surprises

And I hope it's one of the kind that makes things right...
